Method for guiding in real time a landborne vehicle provided with an off-board navigation system
First Claim
1. Method for guiding in real time a landborne vehicle provided with an on-board navigation system, wherein the navigation and guiding data is processed in a remote manner in a navigation and guiding server external to the vehicle, from an on-board positioning module in this vehicle and communicating information regarding the position of the vehicle to said server, wherein said method consists in at least:
- a) transmitting from said positioning module to said server position coordinates of the vehicle at a current moment;
b) calculating, in said server, the initial latency time and the return latency time, the initial transmission time and the return transmission time, respectively, between said vehicle and said server;
c) estimating, from current mapping information corresponding to the current geographical position of said vehicle and from an estimation of the average speed of said vehicle over at least part of an itinerary of said vehicle located relative to this current mapping information, the distance covered by the vehicle during the initial latency time and the return latency time, respectively;
d) correcting said position coordinates of the vehicle at the current moment by the value of the distances covered during the initial latency time and the return latency time, respectively, in order to generate corrected position coordinates;
e) triggering the transmission of a command for guiding said server toward the vehicle if said corrected coordinates correspond to a positioning of the vehicle allowing an appropriate reaction of the user of the vehicle in accordance with the guidance command.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for guiding a vehicle (Ve) provided with an off-board navigation system relative to an external navigation server (S). It consists in transmitting (A) from the positioning module of the vehicle (Ve) to the server (S) position coordinates of the vehicle, calculating (B) the initial latency time (T1) and the return latency time (T2) between the vehicle and server, estimating (C) the distances covered (X1, Y2) by the vehicle (Ve) during the initial latency time and the return latency time, correcting (D) the position coordinates of the vehicle at the current moment by the value of the covered distances (X1, X2) in order to generate corrected coordinates (XC, YC), and triggering (E) the transmission of a guidance command if the corrected data corresponds to a positioning of the vehicle (Ve) allowing an appropriate reaction of the user of the vehicle. Application in the industry of off-board guidance systems.

8. Vehicle-external navigation and guiding server, said server receiving position coordinates of the vehicle at one of the current moments and comprising at least one module for adapting mapping information as a function of said position coordinates, a module for calculating the road sheet itinerary steering said mapping adaptation module and a module for guiding said vehicle receiving position information delivered by said information adaptation module and delivering a guidance command on coincidence of the position information delivered by said information adaptation module with position information regarding a change in direction of a route reference relative to said mapping information, wherein said server also comprises a module for calculating the initial latency time and the return latency time, the initial transmission time and the return transmission time, respectively, between said vehicle and said server;
-
a module for estimating, from current mapping information corresponding to the current geographical position of said vehicle and from an estimation of the average of said vehicle over at least part of a route of said vehicle relative to this current mapping information, the distance covered by the vehicle during the initial latency time and the return latency time, respectively;
a module for correcting said position coordinates of the vehicle at the current moment by the value of the distances covered during the initial latency time and the return latency time, respectively, in order to generate corrected position coordinates, said corrected position coordinates being substituted for position information delivered to said guiding module, thus allowing the transmission of a guidance command to be triggered from said server to the vehicle if said corrected coordinates correspond to a positioning of the vehicle allowing an appropriate reaction of the user of the vehicle in accordance with the guidance command. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
